- Parents are invited to attend the parade by lining our front circle drive as each student and class will walk through in designated areas.
- All parent vehicles should be parked in a designated parking space to attend the event and parents will line the circle drive in designated places to cheer on their student in costume.

RJ Attendance Matters: We are SO close to 98%! Help us get there!
RJ has had attendance above 95% for the past 5 weeks! Keep it up Bulldog Families!
Let's keep it up Bulldogs and get to that GREAT feeling of 98!!!
We have our next Perfect Attendance Party for our Upcoming Six-Weeks scheduled, and we'd love to see your Bulldog there!
Thank you for all you do to help our attendance count! We are trending up from previous weeks with our attendance percentages, but we can't stop now!
Remember, our goal is 98% and we believe we can get there with your help and support!
**Don't forget that students that are checked out early miss valuable instructional time and will have an attendance code for that day. Did you know that checked out earlies count against perfect attendance?
